Whether she's writing about redneck politics in her native Texas or the discreet charms of Bushwazee, Molly Ivins in never less than devastatingly honest—and hilarious. Our toughest, funniest, and savviest columnist delivers the goods on:-Texas politics: "Well, our attorney general is under indictment.

I love Molly Ivins.I love that even 20 and 30 years after she wrote these pieces, they're still relevant. The situations may have changed slightly, but her outlook remains worth considering.I miss her terribly.
